About Rebecca

Rebecca Smith is a licensed counselor practicing in Massachusetts who offers practical, strength-based support for people navigating stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

With 16 years of clinical experience and dual credentials as an LMHC and LPC, she emphasizes collaboration and helps clients identify personal resources to move toward clearer priorities and healthier coping. Rebecca frames therapy as a courageous step and aims to empower clients to make meaningful changes at their own pace.

Her approach blends evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), client-centered principles, and mindfulness practices. She listens closely to each person's story and tailors interventions to fit specific goals, drawing on techniques that address mood regulation, addictive behaviors, trauma responses, sleep disruption, and self-esteem concerns.

Rebecca works with a wide range of presenting issues including relationship and family difficulties, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and challenges around life purpose and isolation. Therapy is adapted to meet practical needs, with sessions offered through several online formats and scheduling aligned to therapist availability.

Her background and flexible clinical style aim to make meaningful progress accessible for people ready to engage in change.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Rebecca frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for mood and anxiety management; this approach often focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors to improve daily functioning. She also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which emphasizes clarifying values, accepting difficult emotions, and taking committed action toward a meaningful life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Rebecca approaches that choice collaboratively. She will explore a client’s goals, preferences, and specific challenges and then tailor interventions from CBT, ACT, and client-centered listening to match what feels most useful at each stage of care.

Online therapy with Rebecca is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to continue momentum between sessions and to access care from home or work while fitting therapy into a busy life.
